Fox Creek Golf & Racquet Club
About
Located just 30 miles west of Cleveland, FoxCreek Golf and Racquet Club is one of the best golf courses in Lorain County. The layout has a classic design with a shorter length and forgiving fairways. The terrain is hilly, which provides the most challenging elements of the course from the rolling undulations to the elevated tees and greens. You'll encounter numerous doglegs as well as a few blind approaches. The postage stamp-sized greens can be especially tricky. They are faster than they seem and have subtle breaks where you wouldn't expect. From the back tees, the golf course will test even the most seasoned golfer, however, FoxCreek has a nice balance of tough and player-friendly holes with plenty of variety. Your score will depend more on how creatively you utilize your shot making skills rather than on sheer strength or distance.

Watch the deer and enjoy a great course
I've been playing this course for years. It went through a rough period, but newer management has done a great job of improving conditions the last few years. It has a large lay-out which brings in many outings. Wildlife is abundant and we watched deer on many holes. The pro-shop is minimal, but they have an adjacent bar/grille with many options and cold A/C.
Hot Day in the Bowl
I've been playing Fox Creek since it was Lorain CC back in the 70's. It's still very challenging for me, but of course now I'm very "distance challenged". Course not in bad shape, especially considering recent rains/storms. Greens seemed a little slow this day, but still putted true ..........and glad to be slow on the downhill putts of #9 or 11. These greens are not flat, so bring your creative putting stroke to play the break. There are a few stupid holes --#10,11,& 17, not just because they were my (lucky 1-putt) Bogies. I was lucky to be teamed with good guys, and our pace-of-play was great. Thanx to GN for the Hot Deals, and I will be back to redeem myself on holes 5-8. At any rate, I do recommend Fox Creek for the challenge.
Trash
Pouring rain and lightning going into back 9. No rain check.
Up and coming
This course is turning it around and will be a great course in the near future! My only complaint is the lack of starter and yard markers, other than that, the layout is challenging and the upkeep is very good!
Wet
Tough to rate course. Was surprised it was open from all the rain we've had. They weren't able to mow for a few days. The woman taking tee times let us know how the conditions were before booking. We still played. Expected worse than it was.
Been to this course numerous times however on this particular day my experience was atrocious. I booked a tee time in advance however it was not honored. The course had booked a large outing and I was forced to wait an hour past my original tee time before I could tee off. Pace of play was about 6 hours for the round forcing me to leave early. There were several opportunities to start me off the back 9 but the starter refused saying “ I am in charge, you will tee off when I say you will claiming I would hold the outing up.”
Not what I’m used too
Compared with other courses around me this course is a much tougher course than most. Not saying any bad just tougher. Nice challenge for the intermediate golfer
Decent
Staff is always a bit serious as in not overly friendly like they should be. Layout is challenging enough from the whites. A couple holes are small dog legs which don’t feel like proper holes in that it’s a five iron and wedge onto green if u very lucky. Hate losing a ball on a hole only 300 yards long! Would not pay full price because course is always slightly rough whether its bare spots or just not manicured well. In its day it might have been a clear four star but I’d give it a 3.5 now. Just u always get a small weird vibe can’t explain it. Not super professionally ran.
